Chapter 50: The Wall of Sighs That Can't Be Climbed
After settling the affairs of the church and Isa, Chen Fan remembered the mysterious neighbor - Xu Huai.
During his trip to the library, he obtained enough information from it, and he also gained a deeper understanding of the truth of the gods.
So, after settling Takato and Isa, he knocked on the closed door alone.
I don't know why, the door never opened.
After asking his mother and neighbors, Chen Fan learned that Xu Huai had left two days earlier, the day he went to the church's library.
Haven't come back until now.
In this regard, Chen Fan has only one comment: Fuck, it's a real pit!
In desperation, Chen Fan could only return home and start to improve the follow-up plan.
Based on the information he had before, escaping Varela City would not be an easy task.
First and foremost is the wall of sighs that claims to block anything from passing through.
"Over the Wall of Sighs?"
"No, no, no, absolutely impossible." Regarding Chen Fan's proposal, Isha shook her head again and again and denied it, "Absolutely impossible, the wall of sighs cannot be crossed." β
"At least until now, I haven't heard of anyone who can climb over the Wall of Sighs!"
Isha added again.
Chen Fan fell into deep thought.
Impassable walls?
Does such a thing really exist in the world?
Could it really be that this wall is actually a giant dome that wraps the entire city of Varela?
If that's the case, he's in big troubleβhe can't use manpower to fight the Wall of Sighs without a powerful weapon, right?
No, we need to find time to see the Wall of Sighs for what it really is.
Perhaps sensing Chen Fan's thoughts, Isha continued: "The Wall of Sighs is firmly controlled by the guards of the Church, and without permission, deacons and priests cannot approach it at all, only bishops and archbishops can approach the Wall of Sighs. β
"Can't the Chosen One come near?"
Gao Yuan, who had been silent, couldn't help but ask out loud: "It stands to reason that the Chosen One should have the same status as a bishop in the church. β
"Nope."
Isha shook her head again: "If you can, the bishop will take you to pay homage to the miracles bestowed by the goddess as early as when you first become the chosen ones." β
"Don't forget, it's the second most miraculous miracle in Varela!"
Gao Yuan was dumbfounded.
That's true.
"When I was a deacon, I had the privilege of looking at the Wall of Sighs from afar."
Perhaps remembering the picture of that year, Isa's eyebrows and eyes were full of longing and amazement.
"It's an incredibly tall wall."
"After the sky darkens, golden arcs and dark blue flames can be seen at the top of the Wall of Sighs!"
"The flame is beautiful, the bishop says it's a miracle from the goddess."
"These dim flames of light, which have been burning for hundreds of years, are far higher than the walls themselves, and they can incinerate all the filth of the world."
"This is also the fundamental reason why the wall of sighs cannot be crossed."
"By the way, there's a buzz near the Wall of Sighs, it sounds like ......"
Isha frowned slightly, reached out and pulled up the sacrificial robe at her ankles, revealing a pair of silver-white mechanical legs, and then stood on tiptoe and moved slightly.
An almost imperceptible hum rang out in the room.
"It's the same sound, but it's much louder."
She put down the black sacrificial robe she was holding in her hand and added softly.
Chen Fan stretched out his hand to support his chin and pondered the words that came out of Isa's mouth.
Walls glowing with dull golden arcs and dark blue flames......
How does this thing sound like some kind of high-tech artifact?
[It may be a plasma barrier formed by high-temperature plasma, which can be regarded as the prototype technology of shield technology.] γ
[In the scientific and technological division of the People's Federation, this technology belongs to the second-level technology. γ
A serious voice sounded in Chen Fan's mind: [In this way, this so-called goddess is at least a second-level civilization. γ
'Protecting ...... Shield Technology?! β
Chen Fan couldn't help but hold his breath: 'Is there really such a technique? β
[Of course.] γ
Between the words, the hologram automatically unfolded in front of Chen Fan's eyes.
The barrier with golden arcs and dark blue flames slowly spawned under the control of an unnamed machine, and gradually distorted into a faint glowing blue sphere.
[The plasma shield is the most basic shield, with the help of a strong magnetic field to manipulate the high-temperature plasma to form a barrier, so as to resist external attacks to a certain extent. γ
[The main defense objects are small particle metal projectiles and charged particle beams.] γ
Chen Fan nodded thoughtfully.
So, the wall of sighs is still resistant to radiation? β
[If it does use plasma barrier technology, it does have a certain defensive ability. γ
One was silent for a moment: [The above is just a conjecture based on Isa's words. γ
[The description of intelligent beings is often extremely subjective, and this machine recommends that you find a chance to check it out for yourself.] γ
[Even if you just wait and see, the accuracy of the information obtained will be much higher than this.] γ
Chen Fan nodded.
Needless to say, this wall of sighs that cannot be bypassed must be in his follow-up investigation plan.
β¦β¦
Next.
There is still a day before the Divine Descent Ceremony, and Xu Huai still hasn't appeared.
Chen Fan could only hit his thoughts on the wall of sighs.
After discussing with Takato and Isha for a while, the three of them walked towards the border of Varela City early in the morning.
The area of Varela City is not large, but even so, it was close to noon that the three of them managed to reach the edge of Varela City.
Looking at the abruptly halted concrete pavement, Isha stopped: "Further on is the Wall of Sighs." β
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him.
Contrary to what he had expected, there were not many buildings on the edge of Varela, only a rather lush jungle.
The tall trees and dense canopy of trees act as a natural barrier, hiding not only the wall of sighs behind the jungle, but also the church guards within.
At the same time, the lush jungle without any roads will give a psychological hint of leaving the place.
It was even a natural soundproofing zone, completely blocking out the humming sound of the Wall of Sighs as it was runningβat the edge of the jungle, Chen Fan could only hear a faint hum.
A good means indeed.
Chen Fan nodded secretly and let out a sigh in his heart.
He looked up at the jungle in front of him, then turned to look at Isha, "This place...... You can't see the Wall of Sighs, do you? β
"Follow me."
Isha whispered, stepping away from the concrete section and walking along the edge of the jungle, "As long as you don't go deeper into the Forest of Sighs, the church guards won't notice you, and likewise, they won't do anything superfluous. β
"They're only responsible for guarding the Wall of Sighs."
